Right, and although as you (Jeff) mention, while XCB (actually, as described, would be a forechannel extension of XCB, XCB allows a server to extend a registration, but doesn't provide guidance for the server, as presently written, we should perhaps do both) can provide a more satisfactory model, there was general acceptance of the idea that viced could expire callbacks later, by administrator preference.  A patch to do it was stalled because Simon requested a better mechanism to specify timeouts, but not in principle.
